The Little Cow Backpack - Oz

I wanted to make some animal backpacks and decided to start with a cow, which would be largely white it color. Not a wise color choice, but I had lots of white yarn so thought that'd just be it. I don't usually use any patterns as I find they limit my creativity somewhat, and so had to trial n error to get there. My idea was to create a broader tummy, with limbs attached and a cow face on the cover. This took me a while as I was trying to get the shaping right. I was kind of ambitious as I want the pink portion on the tummy (as the stomach) but didn't want to cut of the pink yarn every row. When I eventually finished it, I like it so much that it has to go to my girl. Am still thinking if I want to offer this in my Etsy shop. :)

About Me

I specializes in handmade knit and crochet items. I crochet an "A" (stands for Ava) in all items I make as my label.
I fell in love with knitting and crocheting during my teenage years and became addicted since then. But due to work commitments, this hobby has taken a backseat for me until recently.
I stopped worked and became a SAHM, "restarted" knitting and crocheting. Under the encouragement of some closed friends, I set up my first online shop on Etsy selling my own handmade knit & crochet items. I still wish to keep this more for interest but do need some income while staying at home. I wish to carry this on till I grow old. I may return to the workforce in the near future, but will try my best to keep this going.
